Doesn't it say somewhere in the Bible that there can't be peace on earth right now?

Question

I thought I read a verse or two that says it's impossible to have peace among us right now (not talking about the new earth). Is there? Please, no "There is no God" c**p on here. Just looking for a quick answer.

Answer 1

Christ said he didn't come to bring peace, but division.

Does that help?

Answer 2

Mat 10:34 ¶ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Mat 10:35  For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Mat 10:36  And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.

Mat 10:37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Mat 10:38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Mat 10:39  He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Mat 10:40 ¶ He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Answer 3

This is what Jesus tells us:

(Matthew 10:34) - "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35"For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household."

(Luke 12:51) - "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; 52for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two, and two against three..."

This is what the Bible says about the Anti-Christ:

(Daniel 8:25) And through his policies he will cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many

There will only be peace after the Great Tribulation when Jesus takes over.
